Total Domination! I hope some Tiger fans will reconsider

heading back to Death Valley South in the future. Sister and Mom have both said they'd never enter that stadium again, and I've heard or read countless Clemson fans say the same thing. True, the place is a dump. Warehouses and asphalt are a stark contrast to God's Country and their fans can get obnoxious. But to this long time Tiger fan, there is nothing quite like strolling down those dang ramps after yet another Tiger victory. Singing the alma mater with an empty stadium minus a pocket of orange in the corners is something to behold.

Last night was my 11 Clemson-Chicken game in Williams Brice. A caveat, my record in Billy B is 9-2. Those two were rough, I won't deny that and Ive been very fortunate. I have and will continue to say there is no better place to watch Clemson win a football game, and no worse place when we fall short. But the lifelong memories of Emory Smiths drag, 63-17, Whitehurst first down, Buchholz kick, and 102-13 cumulative score over our last three trips make up for it all.

Last night ranked up there as one of my favorites. Chickens behind us started bellyaching about our easy ACC schedule. Bama was one of their first retorts, but I was quick on the draw and responded I believe we both play the Tide more and have more wins against them than SCAR. I saw a fully decked out LSU fan, a few Georgia hats, couple of Aubun and of course the Crimson ##### were all in full force.

This one was a little extra special because the first time in a half dozen years, our feathered friends came in with hope. Seems like the vibe I got around tigernet was a little nervousness and apprehension, Beamer had nothing to lose and since they had already surpassed expectations and anything else was gravy. Bath towels waving, Cocky getting out of the shower, and 2001 Elvis into led to a silent stadium and a mass exodus later on in the game.

Shattering their hope, same ole excuses, and stark reality of a compete being out of our league the worst season Clemson has had since '14. I credit Beamer, and would have lost money if I'd had bet we'd be seeing the Chickens in postseason play. Reality is so hard for them to accept. Last night proved the gap between the programs is vast, even with a "good" season for them and a disappointing season for our Tigers.

I challenge all Tiger fans to suck it up and support our Tigers no matter the venue. You will be blessed just observing their fans. Clinging to the SEC is all they have. Most will leave you alone if you mind your business, but eavesdropping on their conversations is priceless. Seemed last night was the least amount of Clemson fans I'd seen, I hope everyone will consider showing up in 2023 to support our Tigers and Collect the rent.

GO TIGERS!

ALL IN!!

is good for perspective. Done it five times myself (1977, 1989, 1995, 1997, & 1999).

Each time that you enter the Aluminum Bowl to witness the suffering of the less fortunate & the ignorant (and I'll never get over the stupidity of the U.of S.Carolina mascot ... a CHICKEN ... OMG, talk about no self-respect!), experience the DooDoo ice, and watch their fans wave toilet paper in delusional expectations that THIS YEAR is finally NEXT YEAR, then you'll thank the Good Lord again that you aren't one of them.

The Clemson Tigers are also patient teachers ... we keep trying to show them how football is supposed to be played. The ShaneCocks are very very slow learners, but us Tigers keep giving them lessons.
